New hospital program aims to catch dangerous confusion in seniors
NCT ID NCT05915377
Summary
This study is testing whether having nurses perform a daily, brief confusion check (called the UB-CAM) on older hospital patients can help catch delirium early. The goal is to see if this routine screening leads to fewer falls, less use of sedating medications or restraints, and better recovery for patients after they go home. Researchers will enroll about 1,050 patients and their family caregivers from six hospital units to measure the program's impact.
